<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone had success, after filing an objection to Declaration of Completion of Probate per RCW 11.68.110(3) and having opposing counsel fail to set a hearing as they are required to do, in setting hearing on the objection yourself?
As I understand the statute: once an objection is filed, the PR’s attorney must then set a hearing requesting approval of what the PR has done and to address the objections. But what if the PR’s attorney doesn’t set the hearing; can the opposing party file
their own notice of hearing, with the purpose of the hearing being to address the opposing party’s objections to the Declaration of Completion? The objection was timely according to statute.<o:p></o:p></p>
